Suzie's Soliloquy Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Check which disc your BIOS is trying to boot from, and ensure that's the vista one (Or enter boot menu and select each drive and see which boots) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/116653-boot-disc-failure-insert-system-disc-and-press-enter-after-vista-installed-on-2nd-hard-drive/#findComment-828083 Share on other sites More sharing options...

depone Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 I think my problem was I had existing windows on my slave and I tried to install Leopard onto my master and for some reason that messed up my entire windows making it not able to load.

Epona Fries Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 This sounds like you have nothing on the MBR of your first HD, therefore nothing boots. Either install vista on your first HD or swap the drives.
